Exciting News

I am very pleased to welcome a new group to the blog: the Seniors and Young Adults Reading Group.

We shall be meeting on Friday afternoons, at around 6.30. At our first meeting, held on the 19th December 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' was chosen as our first reading project.

The aim is to read the first 5 chapters for our next meeting, on 16th January at 6.30.

Here is the Wiki page for the book.

And this is the trailer for the film adaptation.

Ok, so let's read the first 5, don't worry if you don't read them before the 16th. Just enjoy the story and come to the meeting anyway!

You can contact me here if you have any questions or comments you want to make.

HBO Book Adaptation

HBO adapted the first book in the No 1 series. It could be interesting to watch some and see if they complement your reading and interpretation of characters and place. 

Here is a trailer to the HBO series
